    I have never heard of a pre-payment meter bring E7 compliant. You will have a single incrementing register, and the cost for power will be the same irrespective of the time of day you decide to consume.

    What is your tariff? Without this, no accurate guidance is possible.

    Do you ever run out of hot water? If there is always enough maybe theres too much and time to turn it down.
  • We run the washing machine twice a week as there is only my OH & I.
    No tumble dryer

    I know our oven uses a lot of energy therefore, I've cut down on using that and replacing it with a S/C.

    Our bill states standard prepay E7. That’s all I know, Sorry not much help I know.

    Never run out of hot water unless we run x2 baths. Hope this makes sense. Sorry I’m not very clear with all this

    Prepays are also set up for economy 7. when they replace an e7 credit for whatever reason e7 prepays are used even though the occupier may now have gas central heating and doe snt need e7 thereby paying a horrendous day rate of approx 19p/kwhr and more.
    For the OP screen" H "on your meter will be the day reading , with the day tariff on the next screen "I". Screen "J" is the night time reading with the next screen showing the night tariff
